Why does rubbing hands help in winter?

Rubbing hands together creates friction, friction creates heat, so rubbing hands together in the winter may help keep them warm.


Can you put water in a Volkswagen jetta to substitute for coolant?

If your car is leaking coolant get it fixed and put in the recomended coolant for your car. You should locate that info in the manual, also putting water in the winter is a bad idea since the water could freeze causing engine damage. I supposed you might be able to run it for a while in the summer with just water but get the leak fixed and put in the recomended antifreeze/coolant


What does antifreeze do to the car in the winter?

Antifreeze keeps your coolant from freezing. It keeps your coolant more "fluid".

There is no need to use straight coolant in your engine in the winter. You can buy coolant premixed in any auto supply store. Unless you live in an area that is colder than average or stays below zero, that's what you should use.

Can you put water and coolant in the radiator?

Yes, you can. But if you leave in cold area you will have to replace with proper coolant closer to winter. Otherwise it will damage not only your radiator but also the engine.


What to do if car is overheating in the winter?

First you have to determine the cause. Could be a faulty thermostat, frozen coolant (insufficient mixture of antifreeze), low on coolant or possibly a bad head gasket.
